2010-06-23 Thread Serge Hallyn
Note that putting quotes around the filename lets you use '/'. I.e. pmemsave 0x200 0x200 "/tmp/abab" I assume this is a shortcoming in the parser, as the source code at first glance claims to simply read a string. So I'm not sure how easily fixable it would be, but it appears to be something for

Eh. Well. I'm a bit surprised that you won't allow forward slashes if you try to parse a path. It's actually a quite common character in the Linux world. Even other Unixes use it for separating components of a path. And since people use it so much, it should be as easy as possible to actually give

Muelli: I agree that a help message about quoting pathnames would be useful. Please work with the upstream mailing list to do so. A small patch to qemu-monitor.hx should suffice, but you'll need to interact with the qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Sta

Here's a patch against qemu from git that prints the offending characters, helping the user to understand what's going on. I can't deal with qemu-devel myself, it's way too noisy. But Ubuntu might want to take that patch or push it upstream. ** Patch added: "Patch which prints the errorneous char

Thanks, Anthony. Do I understand correctly that that's the "case '/'" in monitor_parse_command() for '/10x' gdb-like format? thanks, -serge Quoting Anthony Liguori (anth...@codemonkey.ws): > The '/' character is used to create special expressions if double quotes > aren't used. > > ** Changed i
